yea dmidecode has been around for a long time and its a very useful tool. I commonly use it to grab the asset tag or serial number on a box when I need to make a call to a hardware vendor for a replacement part.
look at the -t option "dmidecode -t bios" will just give you the bios information "dmidecode -t system" will just give you the system info like the serial number, manufacture and model.
